importing .kml into google earth? sory if this has been covered but i searched for quite a while and couldnt find out how to do it. i used wardriver to map out network locations and i exported the data to .kml. now shouldnt i be able to load that .kml into google earth? i uploaded the .kml to wigle.net but it didnt give me a http addy to search for with GE. i even tried typing a .kml addy from a different site into GE search but it said not found.
this thread from april talks about .kml or GE not being available for android http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=661064. however i got GE from the market so i guess things have changed.
where can i find a clear-cut way of loading .kml files into GE?
I can't imagine nobody has any advise on this topic. Must have been covered already. Ill look elsewhere.

Man, I just can't figure it out. All the places just say to upload the kml to a host and search in GE for the url. I have uploaded the kml to wigle but it doesnt give me a url to my file. I simply want to place a layer of my wardriving networks on top of google earth. Is there anyone that can assist?

The android GE does not import .kml files. Only the pc version.
well hell.. thats marvelous to know. how about google maps? can i use kml in google maps on my phone? if not is there some other sort of map app that i can use? id like to apply my wardriving kmls to a map so i can review and use them.
thing is, i cant find the url to my hosted kml's on wigle. i have a in post the forums there asking about it but it hasnt been answered yet.
import your .kml to maps.google.com if the account is the same as your phone it will show up automatically in android Google maps layers, just enable that layer
Thanks for the reply. I hate to be such a noob but unfortunately I am just that. A noob. Do I need to import from my pc? When I go to maps.google.com on my phone it asks to open with browser or with maps. When I choose browser it loads then closes. When I choose to load it in maps it doesn't close but I can't find the option to import anything. Any way you could explain it step-by-step to me like you would to a 4 year old? Heh.

Hey it is now possible to open KML file with GE .
Ther's an APP on the market to do this :
"I've developed an app for Android that lets you load a KML or KMZ file into Google Earth. If you are on the Google Android Market, then just search for "KMLZ to Earth". Google might have overlooked it, but aside from the first load of the file failing (Google Earth won't read the URI if it's not running), then my app works perfectly to display KML or KMZ files in Google Earth.
WrightRocket"
Enjoy...
kml files are for the DESKTOP google earth program.

Maybe you're right but with this app you can use it on your PDA...
Tested and approved!
ya missed the post about your addon app.
I just wanted to put this out there for anyone having trouble finding apps on the Market with their VS GTAB.
I found Bluetooth File Transfer by "Medevial Software" that allowed me to transfer most of the apps that I have on my Nexus One over to my GTAB.
The app has a nifty little function called "Send Applications" on the menu under the "more" tab.
Both devices have to have bluetooth on for this function to activate.
This app helped me to get apps over to my GTAB when I couldn't get to them from the Market (on the GTAB).
Some Apps on my N1 were locked so I could'nt move those but for the most part I was able to get a lot of apps on my GTAB that I was not able to get via normal channels.
You can also use the free version of dropbox and get apps from all your PC/phone/Gtab.
It's a cool little app/program. and you can share folders as well. But it is only via wifi, which is fine as my phone is rooted so I always have wifi.

I used Dropbox all the time it's pretty cool but I tried to see if I could get my apps from my N1 over to my GTAB with Dropbox but it didn't give me the option to send APKs like BTFT does.
BTFT will package the selected apps into individual APKs so you can install them easily after they are transfered to your device. Which is a big help because before I found BTFT I was moving apps over using Titanium Backup which had many steps to get the apps over and installed successfully. With BTFT those steps are greatly reduced.
Try it out.
Nice find, thank you sir.

I used BT File Transfer on my Droid and it said successfully transferred, but where does it transfer the app to on the tablet?

I believe the default location for transfered apps is the main directory of the internal sdcard.
/mnt/sdcard
Just scroll to the bottom if you are using a file explorer like estrongs.
BTFS worked great for me! send a few apps to my boss' droid2!
Here is an easy way to transfer and sideload. Using a WiFi connection.
Download apk's to your pc, use ES File explorer to browse for apk on PC (Lan), copy to your "downloads" folder on sd (Local). Browse w/ ES File explorer to downloads , choose apk and install.
Been working like a charm for me
Edit; Sorry to post this here, since this thread relates to "BFT", meant to post on previous thread.

Can you confirm that you are using Vegan, because I do and it say my FTP OBEX service is not installed, did you flash another kernel ?
It does work from Vegan to Nexus but not from nexus to vegan...

Using VEGAn 5.1 Beta with Pershoots Latest 2.6.32.29
It does work Nexus to VEGA, I just tried it out again using CM7 RC1 on my
Nexus w/Wildmonks 2.6.35.10. Transferred nine test apk's over just now as I typed this thread reply.
I'm not using the 5.1.1 supplement.
I was using stock kernel (I guess) from vegan, updating now to see how it goes...
NO GO! updated to latest pershoot
Weird, anyhow, no biggy since I have plenty of other way to transfer my apk, just very strange!

Hmmm? Don't have an answer for you. I remember having that same issue but all I did was make sure both devices were discoverable and making sure the ftp share service and opp receiving service were both enabled in settings for both devices. I don't know for sure that would be your fix though..
BTF
I had the problem before of getting an error message, but I installed Blue Tooth File Transfer on both devices and now it works fine. I have it on my Gtab, EPIC, Moment, and EVO and all works fine.
Wow, very cool. Thanks, worked great from N1.

I thought this app was just ok. I didn't like the fact that you could not customize the quick links on the left side. For example, my movies and music folders are on my SD Card, but when you click the links, it takes you to the internal memory.
I just downloaded yesterday. Really like it. I use rootexplorer for the more serious stuff, but this is much more pleasing to use, the interface is great
Good app but needs paid version sure it will pop up sooner than later

I just tried it. Moved a file from one folder to another. It was corrupted after the move. Deleted the app. Back to Root Explorer for me. It may not have as much eye candy, but I much prefer the functionality.

You can delete. Use edit then delete or long press a file, then edit, then delete. Or press the multi button at the top and batch delete multiple files at once.

This is actually pretty cool looking. But it is definitely going to be tough to not use RootExplorer.

You can bookmark folders by long pressing on them and the folders you bookmark will be on the left side as quick links.
By far the best interface and functionality I've seen on any similiar app, very close to windows explorer imo
Does it have root access, have not played with it much?
It's pretty but I like the functionality of ES File Explorer better.
i like it much better than astro..... i hope he adds root access like root explorer...then it would be perfect
i removed both astro and ES once they added Lan support and fixed the "move" feature. ES would work sometimes with LAN, but not all the time, and it had no "move" option, just "copy". I havent had any negative experiences using LAN on FM HD. There was one issue that i discovered recently, i tried to send a cbr file via bluetooth, but when i clicked on "share" the option wasnt there. But its there for all other types of files.
They are pretty quick at fixing issues. Two days after i mentioned the "move" issue (when you move a file, it would take really long, and it shouldnt because it was being moved within the same device, i.e. when you move a file on your c: drive to somewhere else on your c drive, it goes in an instant, even with Astro, moving was simple), but anyway, two days later, the issue was fixed.
Its a great file browser for the xoom.
Hey all, I am running Captivating RC1 and am trying to fix my gps settings because like most people the gps sucks lol. I have tried the codes *#*#1472365#*#* and *#*#3214789650#*#* that dont do anything, I have also tried LauncherPro that no longer has a short cut to LBSTestSettings, and Any Cut is no longer on the play store. How do you access the gps settings these days? All topics on LBS seem to be outdated.
Thanks!
Try searching for Angrygps.apk
That replaced lbstest after Froyo.

Well i have angrygps now. I installed it and put it in system/app folder... But cant i tweak it? I cant find it as an app and when i try to access the apk it just wants to install. Is there a way to get into it and make sure its working?
I thought I had got this to run at somepoint in JB, but when I try codes with my current rom, CM10.1.0 RC2, the dialer isn't launching Angrygps.
Sorry if the same is true for you.
I have found that using the hellstorm fix with some mods works well for me. I get reliable quick locks consistently - as good as can be expected with the weak location of gps antenna on captivate.
Here is link to my gps.conf file. If you make a backup of your current /system/etc/gps.conf file, then paste this version to replace it, make sure permissions are 644, then reboot, this should give you good gps.
if you are in usa, it should work as is. If elsewhere, you will need to check pool.ntp.org for best ntp servers for you, then edit the list of ntp servers in gps.conf.
I use xplore to do the copy, then chmod. I have also edited the system/addon script so that my gps.conf survives CM nightly flashes.

Did you set permissions correctly when you placed it into /system/app? I haven't used it in forever but I do know that setting permissions was required when I was using it. Also if it's working correctly you'll get an app icon for it in the app drawer.
Edit: Although I'm on Slim I just installed and confirmed it does in fact still work on the latest Jellybean. You do have to fix permissions for it to work and if you don't have a file manager to manually change permissions just reboot into recovery and run the fix permissions option and reboot.
So I am guessing the only real reason I want AngryGps is to alter the SUPL settings, other than it being a "text editor" it doesnt really do much else behind the scenes. That being said that gps.conf file should suffice without the installation of AngryGPS. I have done so and have yet to truly test it out. I do never get reception indoors but I feel thats everyone's case. My car roof however also seems to block my signal, and make me drop lock, is this common as well? I have to hold my phone near a window; an inconvenient position while trying to drive... nor the safest or most comfortable "fix" in my opinion...
Oh and for the permissions on the gps.conf I just set them all to read write and execute, i dont know what 664 means but im assuming that should cover it

Should be 644.
Linux/unix file permissions are the sum of
4 read
2 write
1 execute (for directories & executable files)
In 644, the first number is owner r+w, the second is group members read only, the third is everyone read only. If it were a directory, then it would be 755, to have the same effective permissions.
And thanks to m1batt1, I created an activity shortcut and I can launch angrygps, no code required!
About the car gps, I use a vent mount, which has worked well both in a VW passat and in Honda Accord. It keeps it near the window with a view of sky, and has the added benefit of cooling the phone when AC is on.

How did you get that shortcut to work? My permissions are 644 and it isn't appearing in my drawer. I did notice tho that there is a version of AngryGPS that's named AngryGPSMod and some guy modded it so u can open it. Is this what you guys are using? Do u know how to set up this modded version? Do I put the original AngryGPS in the system app folder? Or the modded one?

I don't have the modded one to my knowledge. Also after placing it and fixing permissions a reboot is required to see it. When I get to my PC I'll upload the apk I've been using.

Well now i found a new obstacle. I was going to remove and put in your AngryGPS that you posted but during my uninstallation process I hit a roadblock. I removed the old AngryGPS from the system->app folder but it does not appear in my settings->apps on any page. Which led me to think it was already uninstalled. But when I went to install the new AngryGPS it says there already is one and that it will update the old one
I tried to go ahead and proceed with the installation but it just returns installation failed. Where else can I look to get rid of the old AngryGPS?

You'll have to manually delete the apk from /system/app/ using a file explorer and then copy and paste the one I added into the same folder.
Again remember to change your permissions when you add it back in. unfortunately you have to do all this manually because this app only functions as a system app and the usual installation process will fail as you've already witnessed
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app
Use a file manager to browse to system/app folder and also to /data folder.
Delete any instances of AngryGPS.apk.
Reboot.
On creating the shortcut, I use holo launcher instead of trebuchet, but the process should be similar. After installing angrygps, go to launcher desktop, and select add. . ., then activity, then scroll down and pick the second activity under Angrygps. It shpuld be an activity named .angrygps alone, without further mod. This will plscr a shortcut on your desktop. If gps is enabled and you click it, then it will launch AngryGPS, else it will take you to settings menu before it launches.

Hi. When downloading a PDF file (for instance from Facebook) I get a message saying something like "No application available to open file."
If I'm opening a PDF sent to me as an attachment in Gmail it opens just fine. I have Google pdf reader, Acrobat reader and a couple other pdf readers installed just to try if they work. They don't make any difference.
Is it a software problem? System? Launcher?
Running everything stock with ColorOs and stock launcher.
Thanks!
I don't use the Facebook app but it's strange issue as mine open using Gmail, drive, chrome and root explorer... I haven't even download a dedicated pdf reader. If you goto the app management then click default apps section does it let you select your pdf app as the default viewer for text file?
